The ruling on fasting the entire month of Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, among the questions that came in this week are some questions about fasting. Some questions about fasting the entire month of Sha'ban. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
It is not to be fasted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting the entire month of Sha'ban, and he said, "Do not fast a complete month except Ramadan." So one fasts in Sha'ban but does not complete it; rather, he leaves something of it. Yes.
